I get triggered by JSDoc and I really wish I didn’t. To me it’s clearly just more verbose Typescript with less features. I can’t understand the appeal, and most arguments I’ve heard for it can be summed up to “typescript is spooky and I don’t want to learn it so I’ll use this inferior thing instead”, which for my personality, is as hard for me to accept as it would be to suffocate myself by holding my breath.

The only other argument being “no compile step” which is a non-argument in the age of modern bundlers.
